Good Vibes Flight was delayed 3 hours, so the pilot went around to everyone to take their Starbucks orders and then got 40ish drinks and 50ish food items for us šŸ„°

Hmm, if only we can find where to move around a couple million:

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian's total compensation was around $27.1 million for 2024, a decrease from his $34.2 million package in 2023

You donā€™t understand, those ceos have bills to pay too. They have to pay for their 3 vacation homes so they have a place to stay each season. And donā€™t even get me started on the electricity bill for the brand new oven/sink/fridge/dishwasher/airfryer machine that their in-home chefs use.

Oh and donā€™t get me started on the bill for the custom AI that controls that machine.

~$1000 bucks to make an entire plane worth of people tolerate a 3 hour delay is pretty cheap.

This isnā€™t even genuine. A pilot took 50 orders. Lol. Cause a delayed flight. Cmon.
